Using your Fender Vintera Road Worn 1960 Stratocaster is easy. First, plug it into an amplifier using a guitar cable. You can adjust the tone and volume using the traditional Strat® control layout. The 5 - way pickup switch allows you to choose different combinations of pickups for various sounds. When playing, enjoy the classic feel of the mid - '60s 'C' - shaped neck and the smooth 7.25' - radius maple fingerboard. For note bending and adding expression, use the six - point synchronized tremolo. As for maintenance, keep your guitar in the provided deluxe gig bag when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to prevent corrosion. If you need to change the strings, use the Fender USA 250L Nickel Plated Steel strings of the same gauge (.009 -.042). Also, check the tuning machines regularly to ensure they are working properly and keep the hardware clean with a suitable guitar cleaner. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures and humidity as it can damage the nitrocellulose lacquer finish.
